Given to the Wild is the third album from British indie rock band The Maccabees. As of October 2011, the album is scheduled for release on 9 January 2012. 　　The band worked on the 12-track album, their third, at Rockfield Studios with Tim Goldsworthy and Bruno Ellingham (LCD Soundsystem, Massive Attack) over late 2010 to 2011. They also worked on large parts of the record with Jag Jago at their rehearsal space in London's Elephant and Castle district, before decamping to Suffolk to finish the record. 　　The band have said they took inspiration from "disparate musical peers" such as The Stone Roses, Kate Bush and David Bowie during the recording of the LP, which is the follow-up to 2009's Wall of Arms. 　　Speaking about the title of the album, singer Orlando Weeks told the NME: "'Given to the wild' is the first line on the album and was a title idea we had pretty early on. But it wasn't until we'd finished recording that we could come back to it and know that it suited, it just felt right."
